About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing a deep attachment to their community or when they express frustration that something they love is changing or being taken away. It is an empowering story that transforms the anxiety of loss into the energy of activism, showing that even small voices can make a big difference when they work together. The story follows a group of animal friends who discover their beloved library is closing due to a lack of funds. Rather than giving up, they use the very skills they learned from books, such as building, letter writing, and fundraising, to save it. It is a perfect choice for children ages 4 to 8, modeling civic engagement, resourcefulness, and the intrinsic value of literacy through a gentle, animal-centered lens.
